【问题描述】:
// threadA.c
int main() {
int res;
pthread_t a_thread;
void *thread_result;
res = pthread_create(&a_thread, NULL, thread_function, NULL);
if (res != 0) {
perror("Thread creation failed");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
sleep(3);
printf("Canceling thread...\n");
res = pthread_cancel(a_thread);
if (res != 0) {
perror("Thread cancelation failed");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
printf("Waiting for thread to finish...\n");
res = pthread_join(a_thread, &thread_result);
if (res != 0) {
perror("Thread join failed");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
void *thread_function(void *arg) {
int i, res, j;
res = pthread_setcancelstate(PTHREAD_CANCEL_ENABLE, NULL);
if (res != 0) {
perror("Thread pthread_setcancelstate failed");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
res = pthread_setcanceltype(PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED, NULL);
if (res != 0) {
perror("Thread pthread_setcanceltype failed");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
printf("thread_function is running\n");
for(i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
printf("Thread is still running (%d)...\n", i);
sleep(1);
}
pthread_exit(0);
}
输出如下:
$ ./threadA
thread_function is running
Thread is still running (0)...
Thread is still running (1)...
Thread is still running (2)...
Canceling thread...
Waiting for thread to finish...
$
等待3秒后,主线程发出命令pthread_cancel停止子线程,调用pthread_join命令后子线程真正开始响应取消。
此时主线程运行到pthread_join之后的那一行,子线程在下面代码的循环内运行,
for(i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
printf("Thread is still running (%d)...\n", i);
sleep(1);
}
我在这个循环中没有看到任何检查语句,但主线程仍然可以取消 子线程。我假设 POSIX 多线程系统内部有一个检查系统,以便在主线程中调用 pthread_join 时可以终止子线程。
问题>
基本上,我需要了解如何在不检查任何标志的情况下在循环内取消子线程。
另外,如果有任何错误,请更正我的描述。
